Latest Windows 10 iso file too large for DVD!

Anonymous

I downloaded the media creation tool for 20H2 Windows 10 version. Requested 64 bit version ONLY.

ISO file is over 4.7GB, does not fit on DVD. What should I do? I DO NOT want to mess with dual layer,

blue ray, or flash drives. Never had this problem before, seems like a glitch in the tool perhaps,

it does not compress the file properly?

This one works! Just burned it to DVD. So, this should resolve all the media format woes posted here? :)

Be sure to choose the second option to create media installation, unless you want to update directly.

    Hi guys. Thanks for the tips.

    But let's look at this question from the point of view of the average knowledgeable W10 user for a moment.

    Simple is good. And expected.

    I am pretty sure that this question would have had a whole different approach from Apple. ( I am not a huge fan but they would have had a straight forward 1 dvd iso in English to run an update or install )

    Let's ask the nice folks at Microsoft to make sure that the next servicepak coming out this spring will once again be able to fit on 1 dvd and once run, the OS will have lots of opportunity to collect more bonus stuff from Microsoft.com.

     Thanks all.

    Take care. Brian

    Guest what:

    1 Week later I received in South Africa the Recoverable DVD Set from HP for a HP-Prodesk 600-G1.

    The Hard Drive had to be replaced (faulty after 10 years)

    I now installed on a fast SSD - Amazing Speed difference.

    Lucky the costs were on HP / DHL

    Thank you HP for honoring your Support Policy.

    20H2 takes large a space, I recommend you to install it into a CD/DVD larger than 28GB. After it installs in your PC, run Disk Cleanup utility to get 20GB+ free in your disk.
